THERMOELECTRIC POWERED CAR 1. AIM OF THE PROJECT This concept behind the project is thermoelectric generation that has been known from sometime‚ but the practical implementation of this concept is quite difficult. The idea behind this project is to make a Car that is powered by thermoelectric source‚ i.e. to build a car that moves with temperature difference. This concept has not been explored earlier but a lot of research can be done in this regard. We will be presenting a practically running

Cooling Drinks 1) What is the specific latent heat of fusion of water? Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance when changing states. This could be boiling or melting. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to melt a substance‚ while latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of energy needed to boil a substance. The specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334 j/g In the graph‚ you can see that as the temperature increases more

through the exhaust gas. Significant reduction of engine fuel consumption could be attained by recovering of exhaust heat by using thermoelectric generators. One of the most important issues is to develop an efficient heat exchanger which provides optimal recovery of heat from exhaust gases. The work presents a design and performance measurements of a prototype thermoelectric generator mounted on self-ignition (Diesel) engine. Using the prototype generator as a tool‚ benchmark studies were performed for

gPotential of District Cooling in India Submitted by Jyothish Jacob P121031‚ PGPM (Energy) GLIM Abstract DCS is a highly energy efficient system that provides air conditioning in various zones of the city. DCS cools multiple users through underground piping network applying environmentally friendly energy sources like central chilling plant. Over the past decade‚ India’s economy has seen unprecedented growth‚ which has given rise to an increase in energy demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

THE COOLING PUMPS AND COOLING SYSTEMS DEFINITION OF TERMS Cooling System - equipment in a motor vehicle that cools the engine. Water Cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment. As opposed to air cooling‚ water is used as the heat conductor. Water cooling is commonly used for cooling automobile internal combustion engines and large industrial facilities such as steam electric power plants‚ hydroelectric generators‚ petroleum refineries and chemical plants

2.2 Peltier Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) Peltier thermoelectric heat pump is a popular thermoelectric energy conversion module that applies the Peltier effect‚ transferring heat energy from one side of the device to the other side. Peltier effect occurs when two different semiconductor materials (n-type and p-type) are joined together with electric current passing through its junction. Therefore‚ the junction could either be cooled or heated [28]. The Peltier TEC device can behave like a temperature

COOLING TECHNIQUES IN TRANSMITTER Introduction In modern A.M. transmitters power valves are used in the PA and modulator stages‚ which are condensed vapour cooled ceramic tetrodes. In the old generation transmittes‚ triodes are used in the PA‚ modulator and exciter stages. Both the tetrodes and triodes tubes are capable of being operated at high voltages (11 kV DC) and large anode current of the order of 50 Amps. They also draw large filament current of about 620 Anps at 24 volt CQK-350
